I am a costume trainee currently available to work in Northern Ireland or Mainland UK

I've just returned home to Belfast after spending the last 8 months working across the U.K. On several feature films including 'Tolkien' in Liverpool and 'Big Ears' at Pinewood studios, before which I was Trainee on 'VS.' In London. In Northern Ireland I was lucky enough to work on 'The Woman in White', 'Game of Thrones', 'Zoo' and 'The Bookshop', as well as multiple independent short films including 'Childer' and the '#WEAREYOU' advert series for the Police Federation of Northern Ireland. 

As a worker I am enthusiastic, focused, creative and  great at working under stressful conditions (time constraints, divas and everything in between). I bring a sense of humour and optimism to anything I'm involved in, that includes 4am call times in torrential rain...as my colleagues will attest to. 

My favourite part of the job so far has been seeing how my own work fits in as a small cog in the larger mechanism of a production. I find it extremely satisfying to collaborate with other crew and departments. 

My greatest strength is my eagerness to get my hands dirty. I thrive in a workroom environment and my passions lie in garment construction and breakdown. 

I've started a blog about my experience on the  Film Trainee Finder Scheme, if you're thinking of applying or interested in what I'm getting up to you can read it here: https://jcostumetrainee.wixsite.com/juliecostumetrainee
